Key:  MNC 10-3240 Actual Location:  National Museum of Cultures, Mexico City, Mexico (warehouse). Collection:  Fernando Sologuren #508 Registration:  10-3240 (number written on the piece). Provenance:  Mound 5, tomb A (on the roof of the structure), Xoxocotlán, Oaxaca (Sologuren's excavation 1886). Measurements:  tapa: 28 cm.; base: 19 cm. (47 cm. total) Color:  Grey clay; the two ears of corn in the headdress are painted in red. Chronology:  Xoo 600 - 800 AD   Click to view Chronology Reference:  Seler's watercolor, 1888; Peñafiel 1893: 53; C.B. Waite, circa 1901, AGN, Mexico; Bauer's photo circa 1900, in König and Kröfges 2001: 131; Seler [1904]1960: 338, fig. 61 (black and white copy of the watercolor); Martínez Gracida 1910: plate 82 Comments:  According to Martínez Gracida, four of these pieces were found as "merlons" on the tomb's roof. The drawing presented is based on a photo published by Peñafiel (1893: 53). In their work "Urns of Oaxaca", Caso and Bernal (1952: 17, fig. 1) presented the lid with the wrong box. The matching box must be the piece on page 45, fig. 59, of the same work (MNA 6-791). It is worth mentioning that there is a box exhibited at the National Anthropology Museum, under catalog number 6-6956 (INAH 10-522684), which is identical to the box of a piece at the National Museum of Cultures and which must be part of this series of objects. Glyphs:  Glyph C in the headdress flanked by two ears of corn.
